This also isn’t the first time Allen has defended the right to use the N-word or railed against PC culture.

In 2013, Allen allegedly defended his right to use the N-word to Tampa Bay Times.

Allen told IndieWire last year that nothing annoyed people more than a funny conservative–given mainstream disapproval of such points of view.
